I have been working on black and white photography again this week. To work without color requires a different attention. Instead of clarifying color to the truest eye popping hue the focus shifts to light and shadow. It is a distillation of the very essence of photography for me and I hope it will help me to become better with my color photography. Let me know what you think, and please, valuable criticisms are welcome!
Julie, The image of the lighted path seems perfect in B&W, as does the one with the snow. The last one, to me, doesn't seem to have enough contrast - but that's just me. Keep up the great photography!
ReplyDeletePeace, Judi
Judi, I totally agree with your assessment. That is good to know!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I was going to say what Judy said. I really like the first two, the second one looks like roasted marshmallows. .....maybe I'm just hungry, lol! I really like that one a lot, and not just because I want to eat it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Urban! The third one is my husband's fave so I included it. It looks better in person but still I have to agree with you and Judi!
ReplyDeleteoooo, julie! love the first shot! so romantic! :)
ReplyDeletegreat job with the b&ws! :)
and thanks for your sweet comment on my cupcake post! :)
Hi Julie. Glad I found your blog. I love black and white photography too. I agree the first one has the most drama, shadows and light drawing you in.
ReplyDeleteLove the first and second photos...the 3rd one just doesn't "pop" for me. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, i also like that first one quite a lot5. I like the shapes of the stones in the path and the lighting hinting at the trees in the distance
ReplyDeleteI liked them all but the 2nd one is my favorite
ReplyDeleteThe second one is especially nice.
ReplyDeleteLove the frist 2 photographs! Well done, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback everyone! I'll be listing the first two at some point and will let you know. The third one I'll save for hubby. Cheers!
ReplyDeletelove the b/w shots! Actually prefer that to color! Nice work!
